Re: Revive Goo tube
I have been using Pliobond as a really good alternative to Goo.
Seems to be slightly less viscous, you can apply with a fine tube that can be purchased separately and attached to the front of the

Re: Revive Goo tube
Remember the ads that Wally's used to run about you could use Goo to fix

Re: Revive Goo tube
Go to your friendly local Ace Hardware and buy a tube of Barge Cement. You
will find it to be a much better product.
Or drill a No 77 hole in the cap and stick a pin in it.

Re: Using old decal sheets ?
I tend to agree with DulCote, as it is porous. I have some experience with decals and DullCote in outdoor railroad situations, and once in place (not talking about saving old decals) Krylon Clear

Re: Using old decal sheets ?
Microscale makes a liquid decal film that is used ti save old decals. I've

Re: Using old decal sheets ?
I have used both Gloss and Dullcote. Both work very well. I found that if you spray 2 very THIN cotes? about 1-2 hrs. apart then after the last cote, wait about 12-24 hrs? then they worked fine.
